Oldest rookie?[edit]

Would it right to call him the oldest rookie of the modern era? He enter the Majors at 38 years of age, compared to Jim Morris at 35, so should that be distinguished in the article? Or is the MLB still considering Satchel Paige as the oldest rookie? RIPLIUKANG (talk) 06:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Satchel Paige is the oldest rookie.--ACSE (talk) 14:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
